Application

Chromium(III) chloride can be used in the formation of a catalytic system for the conversion of glucose into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). It can also be used in the preparation of ionic liquid mixtures using choline chloride and water with improved ion mobility and conductivity.
The vapor-phase co-reductions with other metal halides by hydrogen results in finely divided intermetallics with applications as structural materials or compounds with useful thermoelectric, magnetic, and oxidation-resistance properties.2

Most studies investigating chromium allergy have been performed with Cr(VI). However, real exposure to chromium from leather products includes both Cr(III) and Cr(VI). We have determined and compared the minimum elicitation threshold (MET) concentration for Cr(III) and Cr(VI) in Cr(VI)-sensitive
